Interaction with Guests

Please take note that I'm renting out a private room in a 2-bedroom apartment. So you'll be sharing the living room, bathroom, kitchen and patio with me. I'm away most of the time for work in the city but there may be times that we'll have breakfast together.

Getting around

Gates Avenue station is half a block away from the apartment and it takes 15 minutes to get to lower Manhattan.

It takes about an hour from JFK to get to my place by subway and about 30 mins by taxi.

If you want to take the subway, take the AirTrain to Jamaica Center (get off at Sutphin Blvd) then transfer to the J train to Gates Ave.

My husband and I had a great first airbnb experience. Charisse was very hospitable and welcoming. The apartment was both secure and comfortable, considering we visited in 20 degree snowy weather. The room has both privacy and great natural lighting. I liked that it was only a block from local subway station, and a few stops away from good Brooklyn restaurants. Charisse also gave us some advice as to where to find some good places to eat in the area. Would love to come back again!

First off, the apartment looks *exactly* as advertised. Lovely, very comfortable and in a really accessible part of Bushwick. You're about 2 blocks from the J Train, and can get anywhere you need to go without any trouble. I'm a total newbie when it comes to NYC, but I felt like this was a good homebase to venture out from.

As far as the hosts? They were great! Really very nice people and very welcoming. I totally felt right at home, and can safely say I made new friends. Anyone that will trudge through falling snow and freezing temperatures with me for roast duck in Chinatown is okay by me!

About the Host, Christoph And Charisse

I've lived in Queens for a few years and just recently moved to Brooklyn in this rocking apartment with my boyfriend, Chris.

Chris is 6'4", I'm 5'2" and this difference in height is evident in our apartment as most things are out of my reach.

We both love to read, practice yoga, travel and browse through endless rustic and vintage furniture in flea markets all over New York City and upstate. We met in a Miami hostel a year ago and as cheesy as it may sound, we have gone back since then to relive the time we met but have stayed in a more private Airbnb apartment.

We speak 5 languages between us so communication will never be a problem!
